API: No money for road maintenance  - 1

There is no danger of heavy trucks passing through the Petrokhan Pass. The roads there do not allow for high speed. It is expected that a contractor will be chosen very soon for the route through the Kresna gorge, for the completion of the AM "Europe".

This was stated to bTV by Stoyan Nikolov, a member of the API Board.

The roads there do not allow for high speed, in words. The temporary organization of traffic is for 30 days. After this period, the situation will be analyzed and API will consider how to proceed, he said. Stoyan Nikolov noted the inconvenience caused by this temporary movement through Petrokhan.

Works continue on the retaining walls of the "Struma" highway. A drainage system is being built, he explained. There was a lack of funds for more adequate road maintenance, Engineer Nikolov was categorical.

The limited finances have been there for 3 years, it became clear from his comment, and the problem with road maintenance is the old contracts.

It is expected that a contractor will be chosen very soon for the route through the Kresnensky gorge, for the completion of AM "Europe". The idea of daily vignettes is beneficial for transiting cars. It is not yet clear what their price will be.
